I took Operating Systems over the summer. I didn't find the textbook to be as helpful as it should have been though I did read the whole thing. I supplemented it with a free online operating systems class from Udacity. I didn't watch every video as the course is actually set up for master's students. I just watched the videos for the topics I was having trouble with such as semaphores. https://www.udacity.com/course/introduct...ems--ud923
Also, the midterm is open book but you still need to have a good grasp of the information as all the questions are all essay. As you go through the text, just look for topics that you would have difficulty explaining as many of the questions are phrased like "explain x and y and list how they are similar".
